RECEPTACLE STAND.

Application led January 12, m24.

To all 107mm t may concern Be it known that 1, GLENN F. BOWLING, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of illinois, have invented new and useful lmprovements in Receptacle Stands, of which the 'following is a specification.

This invention relates to supports having particular reference to receptacle-stands.

A primary object of the invention is the provision of a stand, commonly called a bucket jack, designed to Support a bucket or pail of painting or decorative material on a scaffold, or plank extended between two or more ladders, said support being adapted to keep the bucket or pail of painting or decorative material in an elevated and readily accessible position.

The invention has for a further object the provision of new and improved means whereby the bucket jack may be slid longitudinally with respect to the scaffold or plankas the painting proceeds.

A. further object of the invention resides in the provision of means for keeping the contents of the bucket or pail of painting material in-a horizontal position in the event the scaffold or plank is suddenly removed from its horizontal position of rest and assumes an inclined position.

A still further object of the invention is to provide an attachment which may be applied to the support to hold smaller sized cans or pails, and maintain the same in a horizontal position.

With these objects in view the invention consists in the novel construction and arrangement of parts, hereinafter described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims, it being understood that various changes in the form, proportions, size and minor details of construction may be made within the scope of the appended claims without departing from the spirit or sacri- [icing any of the advantages of the invention.

In the accompanying drawings:

Figure 1 is a front elevation of the device, the bucket and scaffold being shown in broken lines; Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof showing the means for slidably securing said device to either side of a scaffold; Fig. 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional view on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1 to clearly illustrate the position of the various parts co-acting serial No. 635,913.

to render the device readily extensible; Fig. l is a horizontal sectional view on the line Lil-4t of Fig. 1, illustrating the pivoted ringsupport; Fig. 5 is an inverted plan view of Fig. 2 showing the relative positions of the views, the numeral 10 denotes generally the framework of my improved support. As shown in the drawings this framework may be constructed entirely of strap iron bent to the desired shape. Said standard comprises essentially two similar parts, 11 and 12, each made from a single piece of strap iron, and when secured together', as indicated at 18, assume the-configuration depicted by Fig. 1, having a flared base portion 14 and a receptacle support proper 15. Vilhile not absolutely necessary', I prefer to add the braces 16 and 17, their use compensating for the compression stresses caused by loading the support. The tips of the base portion 1&1 are bent laterally to form feet 18 for attaching the standard to its supporting means.

The supporting means, above referred to, comprises two channel members 19 and 20. To the shorter channel, designated by the numeral 19, is secured the feet 1S of the base portion 14, said channel being adapted to slide over the channel 20. On reference to Fig. 1, it will be noted that said channel 20 is somewhat longer than said channel 19, so the latter may be terme-d a. channel-rail on which the device may be slidably adjusted longitudinally of the scaffold. llvlhen in their assembled relation said channels 19 and 20, by preference, assume the position indicated in Fig. 3, wherein their respective flanges are oppositely directed, the flanges 19a having sufficient clearance to slide above and below the scaffold 21. The upper face of said channel 19 is pressed out, as indicated at 23, for the reception of rollers 24E, which rest on the upper face of the channelrail 20 for the purpose of facilitating the sliding movement of the first-namedA channel.

While said channel-rail 20, in most instances, may prove to be of suicient length to permit the support to be adjusted along the entire length of the scaffold, cases may Y maining in a vertical position.

danger of spilling the paint is exceedingly arise in which greater latitude of longitudinal movement of said receptacle-support, might be necessary and highly desirable. To meet such emergencies lprovide a medium length bar 25 which is slidably mounted Within said channel 20. Thus, when the support has travelled the entire length ot the channel-rail 20, and it is desired to turther move said support along the scaiiold, it is only necessary to slide out said bar 25 and insert its outer endwithin the looped portion 26 ot thebracket 27. The channel 2O and bar 25 now form a continuous rail and the support in most instances will be tree to move the entire length of the scadold.

To compensate lateral stresses to which the device may be subjected, the opposite edge of the scaffold 21 is provided with a channel 20a, like unto channel 20, and similarly mounted to said scaffold. lNithin said channel 2Oa is slidably mounted a bar 25 adapted to be withdrawn therefrom to form an lextensible rail tor insertion in the looped endet the bracket 27a. Vrlhus, by this construction' both edges of the scaffold are lprovided with rails. The support -or bucket jack is connected to the channel 20t by means of an extensible bracket 28, whichr passes beneath the scaiold, having oneend bent at rightr angles and secured to theriframework by means ot the liller piece 29, while its other end is formed with a loop 30 (Fig. 2) within which is slidably mounted said channel 20a. Said bracket 28 may Vbe adjusted to accommodate itseltto the varying widths of' scattolds, as indicated y at 31.

,'The top-of the framework 10, which I havertermed as thel receptacle support proper l5, is provided with a ring 32, being 1 pivoted thereon by means ot diametrically opposite wingbolts 33. Hthin this ring 32 is inserted the bucket or pail ot paint, the

beaded portion of the latter resting on the top of the ring and holding said bucket in suspension. The bucket or pail is now Vin pivoted relation to the support, so in the event the scaiiold is moved, and the support departs from its vertical position, such.

movement of the support will not be impart-k ed to the bucket, the latter by gravity re- Thus the remote.

The modification depicted in Figs. 6 and 7 has been designed where small cans of paint are to be used. This structure com prises the cylinder 34, formed with upwardly directed flared arms 35, havingtheir tips apertured for the reception of the wingbolts 33. The tips ot these arms tit within the ring 21 and hang therefrom in pendant sivingable position. The can ot paint is inserted within said cylinder or ring 34 and due to its pivotal relation to the framework,

is protected from any spilling ot its` contents as in the case of the bucket above re'- ferred to.

It will now become apparent that my de-A vice will keep the'paint or decorative material always within reach of the'painter as the work progresses obviating thenecessity oi stooping and Vbending over, bysimply sliding the support along the rail. My inevention also gives free use of the scaold as the support is attachedV to the side ot the same. The scaffold is trecot' obstruction. The stand is easily removed when not in use channel-rail.

Having thus described my invention, YI claim as newy and desire to secure ,byLettelrs Patent l. A bucketsupport for horizontal scat-.z
